Concho Saddle
40,s keystone brothers saddle?
metal tag on cantle says keystone brothers single rig aluminum concho. can any one tell me about this saddle thanks
here is the history of the Keyston Brothers saddles.James and William were the sons of Samuel Keyston from San Fransisco California.they had been in business for many years but didn't start making saddles until 1906.just after they started the earthquake and fire hit San Fransisco and they bought out J.C.Johnson Co that were makers of saddles and harnesses.in 1912 then bought out Main and Winchester and a L.D.Stone firm and later that year they bought out the F.S.Johnson Co.1914 they purchased the Harpham & Janson leather and shoe Findings Co.after all that they became the largest saddler and harness company on the pacific coast.in 1925 they bought out the W.Davis and sons saddlery.in 1950 they bought out the H.H.Heiser Co and in 1959 they bought out the Lichtenberger Co.they still make saddles today and are located in Sparks Nevada.
personal note:due to the war in the 1940s aluminum was very scarce.aluminum came fashionable in the late 1940s to the middle of the 1950s and was known as the "aero age"prior to that the metals used were steel with nickle plating or brass with nickle plating. i hope this helps you with your saddle.
edit:the Keyston brothers closed their riding goods shop in sparks nevada in 1999 and no longer produce saddles but still sell leather for upholstry.
